Why are the pyramids of Giza famous?
I am sure there is more secrets in the pyramids than this :
1- the highest of the pyramids 149.4 m and the distance between the earth and sun 149.4 million km
2- the pyramids north is in the same direction of the Magnetic north , the question here how they knew the Magnetic north 5000 years ago with out a compass
3- Estimated to number about 2.3 million block of stones , each weighing from 2-30 tons, and weigh up to 70 tons each, which is located on an area of 13.6 acres. acres is a unit of measurement the about 4000 square meters, while the total area of approximately 4200 acres to square meters
4- Set lengths of the four aspects of the pyramid is 36524, a number of days of the solar year: 365.24 meticulously. Prove it is repeated from other measurements
5- There was a cover of the pyramid, casing stone; heavily polished, and accurately up to 1: 100 dpi (hierarchical, a special unit of measurement pyramid, and more accurate than an inch regular)
6- The upper line, which runs between the north and south, passing by the tip of the pyramid is divided Nile Delta into two equal
7- The upper line is better than line of GMT) because (1) passes continents more and seas less (2) and because it is equal on either side of the area of land suitable for housing in the hemisphere, divied it to two equal
8- The Great Pyramid is located at the intersection of line and line Length 30 Width 30
9- The Great Pyramid the best direction of the Observatory was held until the moment
10- From the time of the ancient Egyptians to the year 339 BC. no one knows that there is a difference between pole star and the North Pole, but the architect of the Great Pyramid knew him, and set it
11- pyramid Inch (which the Jews take from Egypt, and renamed : Jewish lnch) more accurate measure in the world, Physicist British Isaac Newton have discovered that if he wanted his work to take measurements of the pyramid, he sent an emissary, and when he went back and the benefit of standards, proved to be more accurate than English inch, and they are better and unit of measure, pyramid Inch 1,001,081 of an inch of America, English 1,001,084672 of an inch, English inch and pyramid Inch = 25 cubits, a unit of measurement equal to the length of the old is usually about 18 inches
12- the Great Pyramid Built on the center of the earth exactly
13- The basic unit of measurement (holy inch) used in the building of the pyramids is the one to ten millions of the Earth's radius
14- Aspects of the pyramid was built by four concave simple, make these eight-faceted aspects instead of four, so what seems from a distance in the air. Which would benefit the pieces that represent a secret grave for the construction of this pyramid in particular to the show from afar in the atmosphere is what he sees in the proximity, and that Fried was able to see these aspects of the eight from the air, and this is enigmatic completely, at the same time alien to our civilization all provided material, did not reach the thing as well. It is also the effect that the architect of the pyramid was able to climb to the distance in the air
15 -If a straight line extending from the room called the king's room, it completely up to Orion (constellation) .
16- If a straight line extending from the room called Room Queen it up just to the star Sirius and its a constellation of Canis Major
17- In time, the Great Pyramid was built (which is a bone of contention ) there was no language you write on the earth, but hieroglyphic
18- they didn't found in the Great Pyramid of any body or mummy, which mean they didnt built it to be a tomb of the king or other
19- Mass of the Great Pyramid attributed to the size of Earth = 1 / 100 º º ¹
20- Physicist since Archimedes, who found in the square circle to the question of determining the ratio between the circumference and diameter of 3.1428 has developed a number of physics to determine the number by 3.1416. By measuring the lengths of the four sides of the pyramid they are 931,220 meters (232,805 × 4), and if divided to twice the height of the pyramid "148 208", the resulting number is 3.1416, a figure which is defined as the ancient Egyptians, and in this regard, "says French scientist" St. Vincent Dai " : The proportion of the sector in the pyramid to the upper surface of the base is equal to 3.1416 with a selected number of the question Squaring the circle
Which people were mummified in ancient Egypt?
The mummies in Egypt were the Pharaohs,there wives,and children. Not a lot of people in Egypt could get mummified. Since it cost so much money to do it and there for only royalty were able to do it.

Around 700 common symbols.
Actually, taking into account all the centuries during which Egyptian hieroglyphs were used, there were more than 5,000 separate characters, or glyphs. However, many of these were late developments and/or rarely used. Estimates of the number of glyphs used during the classical "Middle Egyptian" period of the language (roughly 2000 - 1300 BCE) run much smaller, between 700 and 800.
Why did the pharaohs of egypt build large tombs?
Because Pharaohs believe that they had an eternal spirit that allowed them to rule the land after their death. So these kings built themselves magnificent tombs. Like a afterlife.
Where was the black land in ancient Egypt?
The black land was all the land. Ancient Egyptians were a black people for thousands of years. Over the course of history they were invaded by different people from Asia and Europe, many of whom took credit for the architecture, technologies, and art done by the Africans.
Men of all social classes wore a wraparound kilt called a schenti which was tied at the waist using a belt. The length of the schenti varied depending on the fashion of the time and your status. In the Old Kingdom they were short while in the Middle Kingdom they were calf length. Throughout the ages the schenti worn by ordinary men remained short and plain. From about 1500 BC (the beginning of the New Kingdom) it was fashionable for upper class men to have the garment pleated.
Egyptian women wore full length tubular dresses with shoulder straps known as a kalasiris. This remained the basic type of garment worn by ordinary women for thousands of years. Like the men the clothing of wealthy women became more elaborate during the New Kingdom. It became fashionable for rich women have their dresses pleated or draped. Rich Egyptian men and women, wore jewellery and elaborate wigs often made from real human hair.
The most common used fabric for clothing was linen, woven from fibres obtained from the flax plant, extensively grown in ancient Egypt. Linen came in several grades from the unbleached schenti or kalasiris worn by a peasant to the almost transparent material draped over the bodies of the wealthy. It was not the only material in use: papyrus was used for aprons and sandals; wool was woven into shawls and other outer garments.
The quality of cloth denoted your position in the pecking order. The higher a person's social rank the better quality cloth he or she wore. It was permissible for men and women of all ranks to go bare-chested, but for an elite Egyptian complete nakedness was unacceptable, only children, slaves and peasants could be seen without clothes.
Such an Egyptian would not raise an eyebrow at the sight of thousands of naked slaves working on the construction of a monument. It was quite likely that these slaves possessed no clothes at all.
Children of all classes did not wear clothes until they reached puberty. After then they usually wore the same clothes as adults.
Most Ancient Egyptians went barefoot most of the time but wore sandals for special occasions or if their feet were likely to get hurt. The sandals worn by the poor were made of woven papyrus or palm while those worn by the rich were made of leather.
Dyeing techniques with natural indigenous ingredients had been developed in Egypt but was not well evolved because dyeing linen was difficult. The colours were loaded with symbolism: green symbolized life and youth; yellow was the symbol of gold, the flesh of the immortal gods.
A civilization is typically discriptive of nomadic/primative people, eg. Egypt. Egypt was a polytheistic secular worship based culture thatb were farmers and gatherers. Civilizations are made of farmers and gatherers. Although it was a monarchy, ruled by a pharaoh and a priestess, it was one of the earliest, large, thriving groups of the middle east that rlied on farming and trade of gold and crops for money and life.

I'm sure you could find some diagrams online of what went where and why.

You can demonstrate with legos. Try building a big cube. Not easy, huh? Now try a pyramid. You can make a pryamid simply by overlapping blocks.
Who constructed the pyramids of ancient Egypt?
The construction of a pyramid is always attributed to a particular pharaoh not that he did any of the work himself. He would command his chief overseer of public works to bring together all the materials and manpower required for the task. A workforce of thousands would be required ranging from architects, priests, scribes (who supervised the actual work); craftspeople including masons (the most important), carpenters, ropemakers and smiths; thousands of slaves to do heavy unskilled work of quarrying, moving the stones and putting them in place. Most, if not all of these slaves were naked.
Why did Egyptians balance pots on their heads?

What started the Arab-Israeli War of 1956?
The Arab-Israeli War of 1956 (Commonly called the Suez Crisis) began when British and French forces, which were jointly controlling the Suez Canal were forced out by Gamal Abdel Nasser during his attempt to nationalize the Canal. The British and French were not interested in losing the canal to the Egyptians and neither were the Israelis. The British and French motivation was to avoid having to pay tolls and worry about crossing easily. The Israeli motivation was to be allowed to continue crossing between the Mediterranean and Red Seas as Egypt did not recognize Israel at the time.
Britain and France incentivized Israel (and joined with Israel) to attack Egypt and take the Suez Canal back. Israel successfully conquered all of the Sinai Peninsula and even landed a foothold on the west bank of the Suez Canal (which meant that they effectively controlled it). The United States, however, intervened and requested that Israel withdraw to the 1949 boundaries under the condition that Egypt return the Canal to British and French joint control.
Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal, which angered the British and the French.
